Responsibility 05:32
lyrics
buy track
She’s poor but she’s honest, she begs but she don’t steal She offers me a blessing in exchange for her next meal She must know what I’m thinking, the words that I don’t say If I don’t acknowledge you, perhaps you’ll go away Go away I wish she’d go away I see him on my corner, cardboard for his bed He holds a conversation with the voices in his head I like to think he has a home, a family somewhere I pass him everyday and pretend that he’s not there He’s not there I wish he wasn’t there And where do I go with this responsibility? Who do I turn to to set my conscience free? How can your eyes touch a perfect stranger? The burden of your life, it can’t really It can’t really rest on me This responsibility Can it really rest on me? This responsibility? She holds a baby to her breast. Her hand reaches to me She asks not for herself, but for her hungry family I lose her voice so easily within the city sounds But the cooing of a baby makes me stop and turn around I turn around Thank God I turn around But now where do I go with this responsibility? Who do I turn to to set my conscience free? How can your eyes touch a perfect stranger? The burden of your life, can it really Does it really rest on me? This responsibility Does it really rest on me? This responsibility I believe, I believe, I believe it rests on me I believe, I believe, I believe it rests on me I believe, I believe, I believe it rests on me I believe, I believe, I believe it rests on me This responsibility I believe, I believe, I believe it rests on me I believe, I believe, I believe it rests on me I believe, I believe, I believe it rests on me I believe, I believe, I believe it rests on me

Wind Song 04:41
lyrics
buy track
The weather man says the wind's out of the southeast today Travelling at zero miles per hour (that's pretty damn slow) What I need to know is where's the air that's going to lift these beads of sweat from my brow? Where are you wind now? The wind through the trees tends to ease my mind blowing the clouds around reveals a silver lining What I need to know is where's the breeze that's going to ease these furrowed linese from my brow? Where are you wind now? You told me that you'd come back like the wind into my life To remind me of all the things I've learned through the sorrow and the strife. I'm listening for the wind now as it brushes through the trees I'm praying that you'll answer me with the rustle of the leaves Answer somehow Where are you wind now? I wish the wind would carry me though my everyday It's absence leaves me wondering why I came this way What I'm praying for is a gale to blow my mind and leave behind these thoughts of you Come on wind blow through And you told me that you'd come back like the wind into my life To remind me of all the things I've learned through the sorrow and the strife. Now I'm listening for the wind now as it brushes through the trees I'm praying that you'll answer me with the rustle of the leaves Answer somehow Where are you wind now? Where are you wind now?

Sing Louder 04:15
lyrics

I feel feet tapping through the floor The sound of hammers on strings floating under the door She is whiling the hours away She plays her music most every day She’s seen life that I’ll never know Over 100 years and she is still on the go When I ask how she’s lived all those years She laughs till she cries then she speaks through her tears She says… Live what you love Love what you do Laugh with your friends Cry with them too Sing every day Sing out loud sing out clear If you don’t know the words Sing louder Sing stronger Sing louder, sing stronger For all the world to hear She’s walking out when I’m walking in On her arm is a cane on her face is a grin When I ask how she’s feeling today Her smile tells it all and here’s what she says: Live what you love Love what you do Laugh with your friends Cry with them too Sing every day Sing out loud sing out clear If you don’t know the words Sing louder Sing stronger Sing louder, sing stronger For all the world to hear When she left us the silence was deafening So I climbed up the stairs to her room I sat at her keys with my hands on my knees Till the song filled my heart it was loud it was clear I wasn’t quite sure of all of the words So I sang louder I sang Stronger I sang louder and stronger For all the world to hear Live what you love Love what you do Laugh with your friends Cry with them too Sing every day Sing out loud sing out clear If you don’t know the words Sing louder Sing stronger Sing louder, sing stronger For all the world to hear Sing louder Sing stronger Sing louder, sing stronger For all the world to hear Sing louder, sing stronger For all the world to hear

Fly and Be Free 03:50

Fly and Be Free he said, let me go You need no anchors tying you to the shore You’ve got oceans to sail Blue skies calling you Fly and Be Free, let me go I have no more needs for you to fulfill Its time now you take care of your own It’s time to live what you’ve learned And take what you’ve earned Through the years Time to Fly and Be Free Fly and Be Free That’s the greatest gift that you could give to me Remember well That there’s a heaven here on earth and there’s a hell So shine your light The love that drew me in and held me tight Fly and Be Free So the world can learn from all you learned me Now that I’m free from all the pain I knew I’m living on the wind and in your song So don’t fret over me For I’ll always be The angel watching over you Fly and Be Free That’s the greatest gift that you could give to me Remember well That there’s a heaven here on earth and there’s a hell So shine your light The love that drew me in and held me tight Fly and Be Free So the world can learn from all you learned me Fly and Be Free That’s the greatest gift that you could give to me Remember well That there’s a heaven here on earth and there’s a hell So shine your light The love that drew me in and held me tight Fly and Be Free So the world can learn from all you learned me Fly and Be Free That’s the greatest gift that you could give to me Fly and Be Free

I am building this house Brick by Brick board by board I am Building this house for my love I am building this house for the family The family we have not yet begun I am plowing this field seed by seed, row by row I am plowing this field for my love I am sowing these seeds to feed a family The family we’ll raise beneath the sun I will raise these boards one by one I will tend this field in the heat of the summer sun I have just begun building this house I am raising you up day by day, year by year I am raising you up on my love I am raising you up you are my family A family sent down by God above I will take each day one by one I will teach you to climb each mountain as it comes I have just begun building this house I’m not afraid of a day’s hard work I’m not afraid to dig down deep in the cold dark earth I’ll dig deep to find what’s worth my time in this life And build you this house I will raise these boards one by one I will teach you to climb each mountain as it comes I have just begun building this house Building this house Brick by brick, board by board Building this house Day by day, year by year Building this house Building this house Building this house
